Faith is the hand of a beggar reaching out to accept the gifts of the King. Eternal life is a free gift. It is given through grace; it is not something earned or deserved.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8 RSV
Father, we know we could never earn eternal life. The fact that you have given it to us freely makes it even more precious to us.
